Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that erectile dysfunction is a known adverse effects of statins, but it can also be related to diclofenac and lisinopril adverse effects.
Lisinopril can cause erectile dysfunction in less than 1% of the patients. While diclofenac is also known to cause this adverse effect when it is taken for a prolonged time (more than 1 month).
When did you start these three drugs? When did you notice your erectile problems?
You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues.
Hope to have been helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
